Results which have evolved from an evaluation of high performance liquid chromatography/Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (HPLC/FTIR) employing semipreparative, analytical, and microbore scale separations are presented. Normal-phase chromatography on silica gel has been carried out with Freon-113 elution. Model mixtures of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and nonpolar constituents in coal liquefaction process solvents have been separated. Best results have been obtained with the semipreparative and microbore modes because of the higher sample concentration developed at the detector. This study has shown the feasibility of microbore HPLC/FTIR which will enable chromatographers to economically use exotic solvents with large infrared windows.
